                   CONGRATULATING DESIRAE MONTGOMERY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MELISSA A. HART

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 30, 2006

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate Desirae Montgomery for her outstanding accomplishments in 
the Missionette Program in New Castle, PA.
  The Missionette Program is sponsored by First Assembly of God in New 
Castle, PA. It is a national program that is equivalent to the Girl 
Scouts program, except the Missionette Program emphasizes Biblical 
themes. Desirae has achieved the highest award in the program which 
includes 27 units with each unit consisting of four lessons, a memory 
verse, activities, and a project. They are required to read the entire 
New Testament and nine honor steps are to be completed which include 
intense memorization, and this all concludes with testing. This is not 
an easy achievement.
  Desirae, a fifth grade student, will be honored May 7, 2006 at First 
Assembly of God for her outstanding accomplishment.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in congratulating Desirae Montgomery for her outstanding 
accomplishments in the Missionette Program. It is an honor to represent 
the Fourth Congressional District of Pennsylvania and a pleasure to 
salute an outstanding citizen such as Desirae.

                          ____________________
